Compare science fiction representation about global warming with real ones
Since science fiction has represented disaster as a new genre of films we have been seeing different ways of Earth destruction. In the majority of the cases the destruction are caused by global warming (the increase in temperature of the earth’s atmosphere). Global warming causes great disasters on earth in movies but fortunately in real life the events are not extremely devastating. A good example of this is the film “The day after tomorrow”.
On the positive side there is an advantage in films based on imaginary situation and this is that those movies teaches us about all the effects of human activities and makes us conscious about environmental problems that we actually have. Unfortunately, imaginary representations of reality sometime cause disavowal in viewers because images are extremely over demonstrative.
It is also important to highlight that in this kind of movies scientist are represented as people who are never heard for the government and conversely government pays for scientific researches because their opinion are considered so valuable.
Science fiction represents possible effects of human activities not only to attract audience`s attention but also to warn people about the possibility of such events became true. Also, Nature does not distinguish good people and bad ones so it is rare that in a real catastrophe only survive good people like are suggested in movies.
To conclude this, film industry represent extreme ways of earth destruction, but the real events of catastrophes do not affect the whole world at the same time. There may be a specific scientific reference on the argument to make them more real. Films seem to highlight moral and good behavior but this don’t means this going to save people from destruction. Disaster movies scared but warn.
It is my point of view about science fiction representations of the reality.
